Manuring Potatoes.

A fairly rich, loamy soil, thoroughly pre-
pared, is the best for this crop The roots
reach down rather deep into the SOIL and
the plants require considerable moisture.
For this reason the soil should be plowed
deep and thoroughly. AS a rather rich
soil is re essary TO secure the best results,
the soil should be made fine, so that as
large an amount of available plant food as
possible will be placed in condition to be
used by the plants.
Applying fresh, coarse manure is very
much inclined to cause a knotty, rough
growth, ard for this reason fresh manure
should not be applied. If stale manure is
used, care should be taken to have it we'll
rotted, and then to thoroughly incorporate
with the soil. Having it fine before ap-
plying will aid considerably in this. The
potato crop is one that very often can be
materially benefited by an application of
unleaoned ashes. One of the best ways 10
apply these is TO mark out the rows, run
ring the pow rather deep and then fine the
soil well in the bottom of the furrows.
Apply the ashes and work well into the
soil before planting the seed. This will
place them where the feeding roots of the
plants will be able to reach them. AS it
requires but a short time for the roots to
reach out considerable distance, unless
the ashes are thoroughly incorporated with
the soil, they will soon extend far beyond it,
and they will fail TO derive the benefit they
sh ,uld If commercial fertilizers are used,
this is also the best plan for applying.
Taking ths average crop raised OH the
farm, as a rule, it can not be considered
profitable to purchase commercial fertili-
zers and apply. The greater portion of the
fertilizers used on the farm should be made
and saved by feeding stock. If good,
thrifty stock is kept and all the feed Sc
cured upon the farm is fed cut SO as to Sc
cure the largest gain at the lowest expense,
and the manure made, saved and applied,
aided by good system of rotation, the fer
tility OF the farm can be kept up without
purchasing manures.
More, perhaps, than with any other eros,
commercial fertilizers can be purchased and
used with potatoes. And where there is
an insufficient supply of manure, we may
be able To use the farm manure to bettel
advantage, and commercial fertilizers bt
purchased and used on the potato crop.

OF INTEREST TO FARMERS.



Keep the Carrying knife sharp-One
of the most frequent table annoyance is
for the carver to have dull knife. 1t
happens about three hundred and sxty-iive
times year, and yet can be so easily pre-
vented.
TO keep the sink fresh.--Put a lump
of washing soda in the sink and pour boil
ing water over it which cabbage, onions or
turnips Lave beel boiled from iMparting
an unpleasant odor to the sink.
To press raised emil roidery. y.-Lay a
wet towel on the table or the carpet spread
over this the piece of work right side up.
and tack tightly to the floor, taking care
to dIaw it tight enough to remove all
wrinkles; let it dry in this position.
Mutton tallow and starch.-Muttcn n
tallow is useful starching linens with boiled
starch. Melt two onnces of mutton suet
with two ounces of white wax and run
them into a cake, from which you can
break off a piece the size of quarter
dollar, which will quickly melt in the hot
starch.
Care of Clothing. Closets in which
clothing is kept should be aired every day.
If dresses lie in trunks Or drawers they
should be folded with great care and always
right side out, particularly if lined as the
dress material, folding over the lining, pre-
vents in measure its creasing,
Testing eggs.-The following is a
simple French test for telling whether
eggs are fresh or not: Dissolve two ounces
of kitchen salt in pint of water. When
a fresh-laid egg is placed in tins solution il
will descend to the bottom of the vessel
while one which has been laid the day
previously will not quite reach the bottom
If the egg be three days old, it will float il
the liquid; and if more than three days old
it will float OH the surface, projecting
above the latter more and more as |
happens TO be lighter with increase;

abated at once. The drinking fountain at
the Jersey avenue entrance, and the use of
the fire by 1rant, corner of Eighth street
and East Hamilton Place, by the street
sprinkler. Between these two, the side
walk and street at the entrance referred to
are kept in perpetual state of mud and

RoBBERs ON 4 TRAIN.
Texan Bandits who Made n Rich Haul
Near Houston.


HoUsroN, Tex, June 1S.-The most dar
ing train robbery ever reported in Texas
occurred at 14O o'clock this morning q
short distance this side of Schulenberg, on
the Southern Pacific Railway. As the train
drew up at the station two men with drawn
revolvers mounted the engine, covering the
engineer and forced him to pull the train to
the open prairie, a few hundred yards to
the east. There fire was burning, around
which stood eight or ten men armed with
Winchester rifles. The two robbt rs on the
engine stood guard over the man at the
throttle, whHe the others went through the
mail, express, and passengers cars. Near
ly all the passengers were asleep and una
ware what was going on until they We're
aroused by the robbers. The first man
tackled by them was w. Newburger of Now
York, whom they struck on the head with
revolver. They secured from him SIS in
cash, several diamonds, and a gold watch
valued at about 81 900. Lou Mayer of Gin
cinnati, was relieved of S35. L. L. Arm
stead of New York gave up 500. He had a
large amount of money with him which
was hidden in the sleeping car A man
from Mevico whose nane could not be
learned lost $500. All the passengers were
relieved of what valuables they possessed,
and it is difficult to form an estimate of the
total amount OF money and jewelry secured
Wells, Fargo l. Ce.s express car was also
gone through. The total amount secured
by the robbers is put down at $4,000 or
$4,000, but when careful revision is
made the figures may be changed. The
robbers made off with their. plumber. The
whole country is aroused and in arms.

A $4,000, 900 Countess Elopes.

LONDON, June 1S.-The Standards Paris
correspondent has been informed that it is
certain that Countess Campos eloped with
M. Garbent, who was formerly private
secretary to the Duke of Pasquier. Both
are now in the vicinity of Paris. The man
with whom the Countess Campos left
France is the Viscount Delatour Oarb@uf.
The couple went to Antwerp, and will go
from there to England, where they will be
married. The Countess has written to the
papers saying that her Object in running
off with the Viscount was to secure her
release from her oppressors and to regain
her liberty. The fortune of the Countess
is estimated at 81, 100000.
